I worry that this tech will amplify the cultural values we have of "good" and "bad" emotions way more than the default restrictions that social media platforms put on the emoji reactions (e.g., can't be angry on LinkedIn). I worry that the AI will not express anger, not express sadness, not express frustration, not express uncertainty, and many other emotions that the culture of the fine-tuners might believe are "bad…

Corporate safe AI will just be bland, verbose, milquetoast experiences like OpenAI's. Humans want human experiences and thus competition will have a big opportunity to provide it. We treat lack of drama like a bug, and get resentful when coddled and talked down to like we're toddlers.

I fear government actors will work hand in glove with companies like OpenAI to limit that competition and curtail non-corporate-safe AI.

Impressed by the model so far. As far as independent testing goes, it is topping our leaderboard for chess puzzle solving by a wide margin now: https://github.com/kagisearch/llm-chess-puzzles?tab=readme-o...

Have you tried replacing the input string with a random but fixed mapping and obfuscate that its chess(like replace the word 'chess' with say, 'an alien ritual practice') and see how it does?

I think it’s safe to say Siri and Alexa are officially dead. They look like dusty storefront mannequins next to Battlestar replicants at this point.

Apple actually threw in the towel. OpenAI is going to be powering the next version of Siri.

I admit I drink the koolaid and love LLMs and their applications. But damn, the way it’s responds in the demo gave me goosebumps in a bad way. Like an uncanny valley instincts kicks in.

I also thought the screwups, although minor, were interesting. Like when it thought his face was a desk because it did not update the image it was "viewing". It is still not perfect, which made the whole thing more believable.

> Like when it thought his face was a desk because it did not update the image it was "viewing".

That's a rather uncharitable way of describing the situation. It didn't say anything like "your face looks like a wooden plank, it's very brown". It clearly understood that the image it was seeing was not matching the verbal request.

The upside though is Hollywood will finally be able to stop regurgitating its past and have stories about the milquetoast AI that found its groove. Oh wait.

Imagine how warped your personality might become if you use this as an entire substitute for human interaction. Should people use this as bf/gf material we might just be further contributing to decreasing the fertility rate. However we might offset this by reducing the suicide rate somewhat too.

Dunno if you’d want a conversation partner with the memory of a goldfish though.

Maybe it's an uncanny valley thing, but I hate the fake emotion and attitude in this demo. I'd much rather it tried harder to be bland. I want something smart but not warm, and I can't imagine being frustrated by "lack of drama".

Since it says on the blog that its only images, text and audio input, does GPT-4o likely have a YOLO like model on the phone to pre-process the video frames and send BBoxes to the server?

I was thinking this could be a good conversation or even dating simulator where more introverted people could practice and receive tips on having better social interactions, pick up on vocal queues, etc. It could have a business / interview mode or a social / bar mode or a public speaking mode or a negotiation tactics mode or even a talking to your kids about whatever mode. It would be pretty cool.

The most impressive part is that the voice uses the right feelings and tonal language during the presentation. I'm not sure how much of that was that they had tested this over and over, but it is really hard to get that right so if they didn't fake it in some way I'd say that is revolutionary.

I’m not sure how revolutionary the style is. It can already mimic many styles of writing. It seems like mimicking a cheerful happy assistant, with associated filler words, etc. is very much in-line with what LLM’s are good at.
